NEET2005PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A very long straight wire carries a current I. At the instant when a charge +Q at point P has velocity v as shown the force on the charge is:
Options
- Aalong y
- Bopposite y
- Calong x
- DOpposite x
Correct answer
A. along y
Step-by-step solution
According to Fleming's left hand rule direction of force is along y axis when is perpendicular to wire: F =Q( V B ) B due to I is acting inwards is into the paper, v is along or: array ll & F=a+ | array ccc i & h & k v & 0 & 0 0 & 0 & - B array | & F=Q+[-j(-v B)+0] & F=Q v B j array in y direction.
